Sentence examples for competence to uptake from inspiring English sources

Under neuroinflammation, this control is potentiated by the process of activation that promotes the expression of DMT1-1A, further increasing astrocyte competence to uptake iron, particularly when acidosis establishes.

This complex control is expected to be relevant not only in iron dysmetabolisms but also in many neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's, where neuronal hyperactivity, astrocyte activation and NTBI increase are established [61,62], or Parkinson disease where the neuronal competence to uptake iron is reported to be potentiated [62,63].

Activation process increases the competence of astrocytes to uptake iron.

JH also confers competence to fat body cells and ovarian follicles for uptake of ecdysteroidogenic hormone (OEH).

The ability of cells to bind to and uptake the exogenous DNA is called natural genetic competence.

In this pioneering book, Allen Buchanan and Dan Brock write that 'competence is competence for some task, competence to do something' (Buchanan & Brock 1989, 84; emphasis in original).

competence to consent; 6).

Furthermore, when we indicate competence to consent, we also consider competence to refuse or dissent.

Pneumococci express a P-type Ca2+-ATPase for calcium efflux and calcium transport through a sodium/calcium exchanger has been proposed to regulate competence, DNA uptake and lysis, but the transporter has not been identified and is not annotated in published genomes [34], [35].

A list of H. influenzae Rd genes whose products regulate competence, contribute to DNA uptake machinery, or interact with incoming DNA has been previously compiled for the 13 strains with sequences available (Table 2; [40]).

Tumours composed of oncocytic cells may occur at a variety of sites but are particularly common among thyroid tumours of follicular cell derivation (reviewed by Tallini (1998)) and can behave aggressively possibly due to decreased competence in iodine uptake by the tumour cells and the consequent reduced responsiveness to radioiodine treatment (Tallini, 1998).
